We are sorry to have again to report another most melancholy accident by the upsetting of a boat in our river. On Tuesday morning last, a boat, which was conveying four persons to New Norfolk, owing to the weight of a man who had imprudently climbed up the mast to clear the jib, and a puff of wind at the moment, suddenly upset off Han- gen's Point, near the same place where the two unfortunate men a few weeks ago lost their lives by a similar accident. By this late unhappy occurrence, we are concerned to state that two lives have also been lost :— Mr. Dennis McCarty, an old and much respected Settler, who only the day before had arrived in town from his resi- dence at New Norfolk ; and Catherine Wood, a very old infirm woman, widow of the late Matthew Wood, some time ago murdered at New Norfolk. It appears that immediately after the boat's upsetting, Mr. McCarty and the two men swum some short distance towards the shore ; when one of them perceiving ano- ther boat coming down the ri...

fl The following; remark« upon the Merina« fheep, and their management in Hungary,: are from an article in the Farmer's Ma- ' ga&amp;iiie ; being an extrait from Dr, ßright's Travels in Hungary ; SHEEP,-It was here that we found the fin- ed of all the Hunyadi flocks, and that upon which the proprietor chiefly depends for hi» future progrefs. f ihall therefore take this op- portunity to fpéak more at large refpe&amp;mg the li reed, and the care takari in its improvement. The Original breed of Hungarian íheep is, in faft, the real avis ftfpfiaros of authors, cover- ed with very coarfe wool; and hearing upright fpiral horns. Improvement on this (lock, hy croffes with other varieties, is become to gen«r al, that a flock of the native race is feldom to be met with, excepting upon the citâtes of the «lergy.

Yesterday being Good Friday, divine service was performed. Authentic information has been received by the Eliza, that the Young Lachlan schooner, which was cut out of the Derwent by a band of piratical convicts in the month of February 1819, had been seized at Batavia, and the pirates &amp;nbsp; put in prison; from whence they will be re- &amp;nbsp; turned to this country to answer for their crimes. The Merino lambs were landed on Wednes- day; and though they appeared to have suf- fered from their voyage, they have since con- siderably recovered; and with the grass which the late rain may be expected to renew, they will no doubt in a short time be wholly restored. - We are sorry to find that a considerable num- ber died on the passage;- from what cause is not exactly known; but sheep seem to suffer &amp;nbsp; more than any animal from confinement, and from any deterioration as to air; and it ap- pears extremely difficult to secure them, when transported in large numbers,...
